Trump’s legacy is on the line with new
Iran cease-fire — what the deal must
guarantee now and forever
Posted By: FlyRight, 4/9/2026 8:08:54 AM
The world breathed a sigh of relief Tuesday night on news of a cease-fire in the Iran war, but this is certainly no time for President Donald Trump to go wobbly. If he can’t work out a comprehensive deal to end the Iran threat for good, he needs to get the jets back in the air over Iran pronto — and let the bombs drop. If not, he does risk that TACO label. Trump saw enough hope for a peace deal — and an “immediate” opening of the Strait of Hormuz — to hold off, for now, on the enormous additional devastation he threatened to inflict on the Iranian regime. Fine.

In another jaw-dropping example of Minnesota’s collapsing justice system under far-left Governor Tim Walz, a major fraud kingpin in the state’s largest-ever Medicaid scam has skipped the country, just days before his high-profile trial was set to begin.
Abdirashid Said, the top defendant in a sprawling $11 million personal care assistant (PCA) fraud scheme, is now a fugitive after skipping a scheduled pretrial hearing in Hennepin County.
The trial, expected to last weeks and expose a massive web of fraud targeting taxpayer-funded Medicaid programs, has now been abruptly canceled.
The Trump administration scored a court win on Friday as a judge ruled the administration can fast-track immigration cases.
Immigration advocates sued the Trump administration last month, arguing that the asylum process should take “years” to conclude and that lawyers want “at least a year” to prepare for court hearings while applicants remain in the United States, The Daily Signal previously reported.
However, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols of the District of Columbia, a Trump appointee, said in his opinion that immigration law is clear on the timing of cases.
HUMILIATING DEFEAT’: UK Prime Minister

Pulls Deal to Sacrifice Islands Housing

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pulled the deal to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands—home to the pivotal U.K.-U.S. military base Diego Garcia—from the United Kingdom to Mauritius, after President Donald Trump fiercely opposed the measure.
While the U.K. and Mauritius signed a preliminary deal in May 2025, it still required parliamentary approval, and the United States has substantial input in the decision, as well. Britain had exiled the inhabitants of the Chagos Islands—a small series of atolls in the Indian Ocean strategically located between Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands—when detaching the islands from Mauritius before Mauritius gained independence in 1968.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair will be taking a temporary leave of absence from his current job to run President Donald Trump’s political operation for the November 3 midterm elections.
Just hours after Politico reported that Blair was considering this move, and that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles confirmed it to them in a statement, President Trump confirmed it on Truth Social:
“James Blair, my Deputy Chief of Staff, is one of the brightest political minds in the Country who has done tremendous work to prepare Republicans to DEFY LONGSTANDING HISTORY AND WIN the Midterms, just as he helped me do in 2024, BY A LANDSLIDE.
former Democrat staffer has come forward accusing Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) of sexually assaulting her on two occasions after she had “blacked out.”
The woman’s story was published in The San Francisco Chronicle Friday afternoon after Swalwell, a leading candidate in the race for California governor, sent cease and desist letters to a number of the women coming forward with stories of sexual harassment and abuse.
The staffer, who reportedly worked for Swalwell for nearly two years, told The Chronicle in a series of interviews that she had had several sexual encounters with him while he was her boss, including two sexual assaults when she was too intoxicated to consent.
Acting president” of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez on Wednesday evening acknowledged that the Venezuelan socialist regime committed “errors in the past” that led to the nation’s unprecedented hyperinflation spiral and exodus of millions of Venezuelans. Rodríguez addressed Venezuela in a roughly 30-minute broadcast during which she called for the mistakes of the past to be “corrected” and presented six proposals to “transform” and “modernize” the Venezuelan state. The Argentine outlet Infobae pointed out that her broadcast was interrupted by a power outage.
The Transportation Security Administration has been in the news a lot lately.
The TSA is part of the Department of Homeland Security, and today it is responsible for securing the nation’s transportation systems. The most visible part of this is screening passengers and baggage at airports. Democrats in Congress, upset about how a different part of DHS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is conducting itself, have refused to provide funding for DHS.
The result is that, starting Feb. 14, TSA agents were required to work while not being paid.
The Democrats have done their best to hide the data, but it is possible to use available information to extrapolate just how bad illegal alien crime is.
Every day, all over America, illegal aliens, legal immigrants, and naturalized Americans from a rogue’s list of countries to our South and from the Middle East kill, rape, rob, and defraud us, almost with impunity. Yet, if you try to prove it by citing reliable government statistics, you can’t. The left works hard—it may be its most important job—to ensure you can’t find out exactly how bad things really are across America.
The Left and some on the Right went crazy over a recent Trump tweet.
He warned that if the Iranian regime did not cease blocking the international Strait of Hormuz, he would hit its dual military-civilian infrastructure. He promised that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
His wording may have been sloppy, but Trump obviously meant that the murderous civilization/culture of radical Iranian theocratic Islam would cease to exist and wouldn’t come back once power plants and transportation systems crucial to the regime’s survival were cut off. Why do we know that?
Because, unlike in most prior American wars, Trump has never targeted dual-use infrastructure—

We expect a lot from our armed forces, and we expect even more from the elites among those forces. That makes it all the more troubling when one of those elites is found to be passing along classified materials. Case in point: A former Army special operations employee has been arrested and faces charges of communicating and transmitting classified national defense information. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel announced the arrest on his official X account. The post continues:

Anonymously sourced hit pieces have hammered Tulsi Gabbard the past few months in The Guardian, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the New Republic, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, you name it.
They are part of a relentless campaign to undermine President Trump’s director of national intelligence because she is almost single-handedly revealing the dirty secrets of the Deep State.
Rumors swirl around Washington that the president is displeased with her and she will soon follow Pam Bondi out the door.
But that doesn’t appear to be the case.
The commander in chief is unwavering in his support for her when reporters ask, including during an impromptu press conference on Air Force One last week.

Apparently, Tucker Carlson thought it would be a good idea to use his platform to attack Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse and the faith-based community. Tucker Carlson made a big mistake.There are situations that we sometimes have a great deal of familiarity with. The work of Samaritan’s Purse and Franklin Graham is one of those situations for me. Readers here will know of my time spent as a CERT volunteer during national disasters, most of which involve hurricane relief.(snip) the single most effective emergency response mission in our nation.
On his podcast, Tucker Carlson and guest “Bro” Nathan Apffel spin a conspiracy tale that’s wildly out of touch with reality.
In Colorado, the highest posted speed limit is 75 mph. I can live with that, even though I think 85 mph might be better and perhaps just as safe.
This speed limit of 75 means that it’s against the law to go faster than that. Trust me on this, I used to be a lawyer.
But now, Colorado has announced that if you go the 75-mph speed limit in the left lane, or even if you violate the speed limit by going 85 mph, and people stack up behind you who want to go 95, then you’re violating the law by impeding traffic. And you’ll be ticketed for it.
Oh, Great, Peace in the Middle East Again

Well, it’s another glorious day, or something. President Donald Trump’s threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran have apparently worked, a “ceasefire” has been concluded, and as he did when he forced Israel to stop fighting Hamas when it had a chance to destroy the jihad terror group once and for all, Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East: (Snip)
The Islamic Republic of Iran was likewise in a celebratory mood, and in its joyful exuberance, fired off a round or two of celebratory missiles and drones into Israel and the Sunni states that it has targeted since the beginning of this conflict.

It used to be taken for granted that immigrants to the United States would assimilate, adopt American cultural values, and become Americans. That idea, of course, was lost long ago as the lust for “diversity” and “multiculturalism” overtook the political and media elites, but up until Old Joe Biden opened the floodgates to any sentient being that could be relied upon to vote Democrat, most Americans took for granted the idea that people who settled in this country should obey the existing laws.
No more, however. On Wednesday, Shadi Hamid, a Washington Post columnist and professor at Georgetown University,
Israeli leaders overnight Thursday denounced the government of Pakistan, which is mediating the US-Iran ceasefire negotiations, after the country’s defense minister called Israel “cancerous.” In a post on X, Khawaja Asif wrote, “Israel is evil and a curse for humanity,” and asserted that “as peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon.”
Israel has been fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon since March 2, when the Iran-backed terror group started attacking the Jewish state with rockets and drones in support of its Iranian sponsor.

President Donald Trump slammed Iran Thursday night for doing a "very poor job," of letting oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
The United States and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday that was contingent on Iran reopening the Strait, which is a critical waterway where about 20% of the world's oil passed through before the conflict broke out in February.
"Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz," Trump posted on Truth Social. "That is not the agreement we have!"
What does this mean? Perhaps Donald Trump's latest statement is meant to paraphrase a line from the most worthwhile Star Wars film: You have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.
Sometime in the next few hours, talks will begin in Islamabad between the US and Iran in an attempt to end the war. Trump agreed to a two-week cease-fire that stopped a massive American attack on energy and transportation infrastructure in exchange for a full re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iranian missile and drone attacks. Not only has Iran not delivered on those points
federal judge ruled Thursday that the Pentagon cannot impose its new press restrictions, which he claimed was an effort to negate his previous order.
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman last month dismissed parts of the Pentagon's guidelines released last year and ordered it to restore the press passes of seven journalists for the New York Times.
The War Department then changed its protocols late last month for its media briefing room, which includes the relocation of reporters to workspace outside the Pentagon. It also closed the correspondents' corridor within the Pentagon.

The State of Minnesota requires schools to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports. It also requires schools to allow teenage boys to shower with the girls, and otherwise avail themselves of girls’ locker rooms. This is not, to put it mildly, a popular policy, especially with the parents of teenage girls. But Minnesota’s DFL party defends it doggedly.
It gets worse: the federal government has sued Minnesota, alleging that the state’s anti-girl policies violate Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments. That lawsuit potentially could cost Minnesota up to $3 billion in federal education funding.
But none of that matters to Minnesota’s Democrats. Republicans in the Minnesota House introduced legislation

Israel Flores Ortiz, an 18-year-old junior at Fairfax County High School, was found guilty of assault and battery, after at least a dozen female students came forward accusing Ortiz of grabbing them between their legs.
Ortiz was found guilty on nine counts of assault and battery and not guilty on three counts. The judge dismissed one count against Ortiz. All of the charges were misdemeanors.
Ortiz is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who entered the United States in 2024. He is currently an eleventh-grader at Fairfax County High School. In the state of Virginia, illegal immigrants can attend public schools at the taxpayers’ expense until the age of 22.
